## Installation
`git brws` is available on Linux, macOS and Windows.
### With [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/)
```
$ brew tap "rhysd/git-brws" "https://github.com/rhysd/git-brws"
$ brew install git-brws
```
It installs `git-brws` to `/usr/local/bin` and `git-brws.1` to `/usr/local/share/man/man1`.
This is recommended way for installation on macOS since updating to the new version is easy.
### On [Arch Linux](https://www.archlinux.org/)
You can install `git-brws` via the [AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/git-brws/):
```
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/git-brws.git
cd git-brws
makepkg -si
```
### Download from [release page][]
Pre-built binary executables are available at [release page][] for following targets:
- Linux 64bit (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)
- macOS 64bit (x86_64-apple-darwin)
- Windows 64bit (x86_64-pc-windows-msvc)
- Linux 32bit (i686-unknown-linux-gnu)
- Windows 32bit (i686-pc-windows-msvc)
Download and unarchive the binary then put the executable in `$PATH`.
Manpage for `man` command is available. Please find `git-brws.1` in the unarchived directory or download
it from [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rhysd/git-brws/master/git-brws.1) and copy it to the
`man` directory in your system (e.g. `/usr/local/share/man/man1/`).
Note: `git brws --help` only works when it is installed. `git brws -h` is always available.
### With [cargo](https://crates.io/)
```
$ cargo install git-brws
```
It requires Rust toolchain to build git-brws from sources.
## Usage
```
Usage: git brws [Options] {Args}
Options:
-r, --repo REPO Shorthand format (repo, user/repo, host/user/repo) or
Git URL you want to see. When only repo name is
specified, most popular repository will be searched
from GitHub
-b, --branch BRANCH Branch name to browse
-d, --dir PATH Directory path to the repository. Default value is
current working directory
-R, --remote REMOTE Remote name (e.g. origin). Default value is a remote
the current branch is tracking. If current branch
tracks no branch, it falls back to 'origin'
-u, --url Output URL to stdout instead of opening in browser
-p, --pr Open pull request page instead of repository page. If
not existing, open 'Create Pull Request' page
-w, --website Open website page instead of repository page (homepage
URL for GitHub, GitLab pages, Bitbucket Cloud)
-B, --blame Open blame page instead of repository page. File path
to blame must be passed also.
-c, --current-branch
Open the current branch instead of default branch
-h, --help Print this help
-v, --version Show version
```
### Open a repository page
- Repository at current directory
```
$ git brws
```
- `develop` branch
```
$ git brws -b develop
```
- `origin` remote of `develop` branch
```
$ git brws -r origin -b develop
```
- @rhysd's 'Shiba' repository
```
$ git brws -r rhysd/Shiba
```
- Most popular `react` repository on GitHub
```
$ git brws -r react
```
It will open https://github.com/facebook/react.
Note: When only repository name is specified for `-r` option, `git-brws` searches GitHub with query
`{repo} in:name` and opens the best-matched repository page.
- Specify directory of repository
```
$ git brws -d ~/.go/src/github.com/rhysd/dot-github
```
### Open a file page
- File of current branch of current remote
```
$ git brws ./some/file.txt
```
- Line of the file
```
$ git brws ./some/file.txt#L123
```
Note: The `L` can be omit.
- Range from line to line of the file
```
$ git brws ./some/file.txt#L123-L126
```
Note: The `L` can be omit.
### Open a commit page
- `HEAD` page of current repository
```
$ git brws HEAD
```
### Open a tag page
- `0.10.0` tag page of current repository
```
$ git brws 0.10.0
```
### Open a diff page between commits
- Diff between `HEAD` and `HEAD~3`
```
$ git brws HEAD~3..HEAD
```
- Diff between `113079b` and `60024ab`
```
$ git brws 60024ab..113079b
```
### Open a diff page from specific commit and its merge base
In addition to `..`, diff with `...` is supported.
- Diff between `branchB` and the merge base commit from `branchB` into `branchA`
```
$ git brws branchA...branchB
```
If you don't know the difference between `..` and `...`, please read `git diff --help`.
Note: Only GitHub and GitHub Enterprise support `...`. For GitLab, only `...` is available.
### Open a pull request page
- Pull request page of current branch of current repository
```
$ git brws --pr
```
- Pull request page of specific branch of specific repository
```
# Specify my forked repository
$ git brws --pr --repo rhysd/rust.vim -b async-contextual-keyword
# Or specify original repository
$ git brws --pr --repo rust-lang/rust.vim -b async-contextual-keyword
```
Note: Currently only GitHub and GitHub Enterprise are supported.
Note: If you have created multiple pull requests at the same repository with the same branch name,
the command may not open a pull request page you want.
Note: When a pull request page for current branch is not existing yet, it opens 'Create Pull Request'
page instead.
### Open a website for the repository
```
# Website for current repository
$ git brws --website
```
With `--repo` option, arbitrary repository's website can be opened.
```
# Opens https://reactjs.org
$ git brws --website --repo react
```
It opens a website for the repository.
- For GitHub, URL for 'homepage' configuration of the repository if it's set. Otherwise
`https://{user}.github.io/{repo}`
- For GitHub Enterprise, `https://pages.{host}/{user}/{repo}` or `https://{host}/pages/{user}/{repo}`
depending on your GitHub Enterprise configuration of subdomain isolation
- For GitLab, [GitLab Pages][gitlab-pages]
- For Bitbucket, [Bitbucket Cloud][bitbucket-cloud]
### Open an issue page
- Issue #8
```
$ git brws '#8'
```
Note: `#` is usually used for a line comment in major shells. Please quote the argument
### Open a blame page
- Specific file
```
$ git brws --blame some/file.txt
```
- Specific line at file
```
$ git brws --blame some/file.txt#L5
```
- Specific range at file
```
$ git brws --blame some/file.txt#L5-L9
```
### Cooperate with other tools
With `-u` option, `git brws` outputs URL to stdout.
For example, in Vim, you can write your repository URL to your text instantly.
```
:r!git brws -u
```
And below can open editing file in your browser.
```
:!git brws %
```
## Customization
Some environment variables are available to customize behavior of `git-brws`.
| Variable | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `$GIT_BRWS_GIT_COMMAND` | Git command to use. If not specified, `"git"` will be used. |
| `$GIT_BRWS_GHE_URL_HOST` | When you use your own GitHub Enterprise repository, you can specify its host to this variable. By default, `git brws` detects `^github\.` as GHE host. If your GHE repository host does not match it, please specify this variable. If your repository is `https://example-repo.org/user/repo`, `example-repo.org` should be set. |
| `$GIT_BRWS_GHE_SSH_PORT` | When you set a number to it, the number will be used for the ssh port for GitHub Enterprise URLs. |
| `$GIT_BRWS_GITLAB_URL_HOST` | When you use self-hosted GitLab instance, you can specify its host to this variable. By default, `git brws` detects host matching to `^gitlab\.` as GitLab. If your GitLab URL host does not match it, please specify this variable. If your repository is hosted at `https://your-code.net/user/repo`, `your-code.net` should be set. |
| `$GIT_BRWS_GITLAB_SSH_PORT` | When you set a number to it, the number will be used for the ssh port for self-hosted GitLab URLs. This is useful when your environment hosts GitLab to non-trivial ssh port URL. |
| `$GIT_BRWS_GITHUB_TOKEN` | This variable is used for `--pr` (or `-p`) only. API access token for github.com. They are optional, but useful for avoiding API rate limit and accessing to private repositories. Please generate a token from https://github.com/settings/tokens/new |
| `$GITHUB_TOKEN` | Ditto. When `GIT_BRWS_GITHUB_TOKEN` is not set, `GITHUB_TOKEN` is looked. |
| `$GIT_BRWS_GHE_TOKEN` | This variable is used for `--pr` (or `-p`) only. API access token for GitHub Enterprise instance. It is sometimes mandatory (depending on your GHE instance configuration). Please generate a token from `https://{YOUR GHE HOST}/settings/tokens/new`. |
| `$GIT_BRWS_BROWSE_COMMAND` | Command to open URL. If this value is specified, the command is executed with URL as first argument to browse the URL. |
| `$GIT_BRWS_SHORT_COMMIT_HASH` | Setting `true` will use 7-letters short commit hash like `78fbce6` for URLs. |
| `$https_proxy` | This variable is used for `--pr` (or `-p`) only. An HTTPS Proxy server URL if you use a web proxy. |
